Background Urinary tract infections (UTIs) contribute to hospital infections and occupy the first rank, and catheter- related UTIs are the most common type. Due to the increasing emergence of antibiotic- resistant isolates, knowing the latest status of the bacterial pattern and the antibiotic sensitivity status of these isolates resistant to other available antibiotic agents can provide effective treatment patterns for clinicians.
Objective This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and microbiological characteristics and the antibiotic resistance patterns of isolates obtained from patients with catheter-associated urinary tract infections in Rasht, Iran.
Methods In this cross-sectional study, all cases of catheter-related urinary infections after surgery referred to Porsina Hospital in Rasht City were examined over two years. The results of the antibiotic sensitivity patterns of isolates isolated from urinary catheter infections relative to routine antibiotics used in the region were extracted from laboratory results and reported.
Results In this study, 36 patients were identified as suffering from catheter-related UTIs. Among them, 52.78% were male patients and 47.22% were female patients, and the majority of the samples were from the general and special care departments. The most common bacterial species isolated from urine samples were Enterobacter (36.1%) and Escherichia coli (27.8%). The highest antibiotic resistance rate of bacteria isolated from catheter-associated UTIs was ceftazidime at 72.7%, followed by cefepime at 66.7% and ciprofloxacin at 47.1%.
Conclusion The results of a recent study determined the regional pattern of bacterial causes of UTIs related to catheters. This information can lead to the improvement of infection control programs in regional health centers, as well as the optimization of laboratory reports to help treat patients.
